Oo that sounds interesting... this strip has so much potential. The old dentist premises has been sold and the chap at the DIY store next door is (sadly) retiring and is selling up, but hopefully the premises will be occupied by something good. New cafe by the turkish supermarket, 'new' french bistro (currently BYO) , all good stuff!

It is good news, kristymac1: I like that there is mixed business and not too much food-and-drinkery.

That strip is good because of its variety. I like having a DIY shop, a dentist, an old fashioned caff, a pub, a Co-Op (despite its eccentricities), a PO and a barber's shop etc., as well as restaurants and bistros.

It could be made even better if the pavements were made even and perhaps a few trees - even in planters - were put in. Also, the bins are a bit stinky but at least they look nice and match the bollards.

That's why I love it - it's a useful strip of shops (2 pharmacies as well). The Herne garden is having a major overhaul too...

Totally agree and it shouldn't cost a fortune - I wonder whether Southwark's CGS would be worth approaching for funds - I think I'll make some initial enquiries, perhaps a bid from local residents and business owners?

Why can't business owners take the initiative anyway, without having to resort to handouts? Fair enough, if there is cash that is set aside for such things, do it, but its absence does not absolve an owner of a duty or responsibility to make things better. It makes me annoyed that some business owners (not many, but a few) let their properties be covered with tagging or have dodgy paving and do absolutely nothing about it.

On the subject of the DIY shop, the rumour I've heard is that it's going to become a delicatessen.


I asked in co-op yesterday if they had any plans for expansion into the shops next door. They had literally no idea and said it was a decision for head office. And of course 'head office never tell us anything'.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
